The rapper’s firearm possession charges are felonies as Offset is a convicted felon.

He was jailed in 2013 for violating probation he received for prior convictions of theft and burglary.

And in 2015, he and his Migos bandmates Quavo and Takeoff were all arrested during a concert at Georgia Southern University. Offset was charged with possession of an unspecified schedule II narcotic, possession of marijuana, possession of a firearm in a school safety zone, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. He spent eight months in custody before accepting a plea deal, which involved serving five years of probation.

Offset’s arrest comes just after he welcomed daughter Kulture with wife Cardi B.

Offset is father to three other children – Jordan, Kody and Kalea – from previous relationships.

Metro.co.uk has contacted Offset’s rep for comment.
